Cap a grade category

For in-person classes I use "class points" to encourage attendance. These are points earned for activities completed in class and they are awarded if you were present when we did it. I build in extra opportunities to earn these points in case of student emergencies,but want to be able to cap the number of points in this point category in the Canvas gradebook. For example, there might be 25 points available but the max in the category is 20. As it stands now, there is no way for me to set cap by type of assignment. Can you make this happen?

Heather Niemeier I ran into a similar problem in a course I created where I wanted to give my students choice regarding which assignments they completed in a module but also wanted them to make sure they completed some assignments in all the modules. What I did was place each module's assignments in the same assignment group and then drop the number of lowest scores to force a maximum points possible per module.
